Petrol Pump Fascia: Innovation to create a new bonding solution.

At J.I.T., we are passionate about our  products, and take pleasure in customising them to help create new innovations for our customers. With 25 years in the business, we have a wealth of knowledge and expertise which we are happy to share with our clients and customers.

This is illustrated by our involvement with various different companies' R&D processes. For example, we were approached by a well-known petrol pump manufacturer who wanted to develop a completely new bonding solution for their pumps. Their objectives were simple:

  1. simplify their product using adhesive technology
  2. reduce the length of time it takes to produce each pump
  3. make the product more cost-effective

After various trials and with the help of our expertise, the new prototype was finally produced:

A Plexi-glass display fascia was mounted onto the aluminium using high-bond tape to form the finished display panel. To successfully do this, we used various methods including:

  • screen printing sheets of high grade Plexi-glass;
  • mounting the die-cut high bond foam gaskets using a special Jig.

 All that the customer had to do on receiving the product was clean the surface with our high bond surface cleaners and then apply the part using a custom jig as per application guidelines.

We are extremely proud of this innovation as we were instrumental throughout the whole research and development process, and in the end helped our customer fulfil their design objectives.
